On a night like this So glad you came around Hold on to me so tight And heat up some coffee grounds We got much to talk about And much to reminisce It sure is right On a night like this On a night like this So glad you've come to stay Hold on to me, pretty miss Say you'll never go away to stray Run your fingers down my spine Bring me a touch of bliss It sure feels right On a night like this On a night like this I can't get any sleep The air is so cold outside And the snow's so deep Build a fire, throw on logs And listen to it hiss And let it burn, burn, burn, burn On a night like this Put your body next to mine And keep me company There is plenty a room for all So please don't elbow me Let the four winds blow Around this old cabin door If I'm not too far off I think we did this once before There's more frost on the window glass With each new tender kiss But it sure feels right On a night like this

Well I've been on one hell of a roll But on the downhill side Since I fiercely abandoned my home For the city lights And they sure do shine so bright Standing far away So bright that they can make you blind To your honest ways I'm tryna make a one man stand At this mean ol' world Without knowing the lay of the land Or what's about to unfurl It took a few good tribulations To get a real clear view That the ones you think you can trust Just gonna turn on you So I'm headed back to allotted land Where my sisters and my mother hold an open hand They say dear boy where have you been I said down in a well but I'm home again I ask the lord to lend a hand And he just shakes his head He said you need to help yourself out boy Before you wind up dead And I'm my own worst enemy I can't shake the past Killing me from the inside Oh how the hard times last So I'm headed back to allotted land Where my sisters and my mother hold an open hand They say dear boy where have you been I said down in a well but I'm home again

Well another night I'm staring down On an empty college ruled It's bound to drive me out of my mind And I can't stand to sit any longer on this stool Because I'm watching time pass by And I've been on the strings For a good long while now Been picking the rhythm blues Since I was old enough to know how And I've spent many days Beating myself in the dirt Just trying to find the words To a song you've never heard And it's getting late I know it's true The street lamps are dimming down And it's bloodshot red in my eyes No words have I found I guess it's time to hang it up for the night Because I can't keep up any longer with this fight My minds been sucked into the rhythm of these times Getting worse with every step I take on down the line And I'm feeling all alone crying out for a hand Because the cloud I'm riding on is beginning to disband All those days I spent blocking out the pain are coming down With the rain and the lightning striking all up and around My foundation I so thought could withstand a heavy storm But here I stand a broken man with no flowers just the thorns Well my shoulders are just about to give way to the load Can't seem to break loose of this bind And it's been a while now Since I've been cast a stone Guess I'm waiting on due time But the days just seem to go And my bones break further down And I envy all the times I stood on solid ground Here I go again out searching in the dark Racking my brain around just looking for a spark All those days I spent blocking out the pain are coming down With the rain and the lightning striking all up and around My foundation I so thought could withstand a heavy storm But here I stand a broken man with no flowers just the thorns

I'm a fool for punching the bag If it stands in my way And there ain't much you can tell me When I've thrown my words away Should've spoke you had the chance Before I was what I am Cause these hands don't discriminate And they'll damn sure kill a man If you bargain with my piece of mind You should bury yourself Cause if you think it's something to fuck with me Look at all the blood on this floor And if I can't keep your pace I'll just unchain the hellhounds Cause you can run but you can't hide Fore you're shaking hands with the ground Dams will break when they're being pushed to the edge Violence on your trail is something you should dread Cause I'm a hitman with no quote, just a reason And I flood in eulogies because of treason Call your mama and tell her you love her Cause after you hit the list The baggage will surface from deep down under And your conscience gets a little tense But if you're deserving of the black and blue You can only flee so far Till your laces wind around your shoes And the running gets a little too hard Dams will break when they're being pushed to the edge Violence on your trail is something you should dread Cause I'm a hitman with no quote, just a reason And I flood in eulogies because of treason Dams will break when they're being pushed to the edge Violence on your trail is something you should dread Cause I'm a hitman with no quote, just a reason And I flood in eulogies because of treason

Speakin' of the devil as he walks right in Coming to lay down for me another sin I'm starting to think they're finally dragging me down As my closet full of bones starts to spill on out High on somebody's prescription pills And the women who strut around in their high heels I can't get enough because they understand That a man like me has an unsteady hand Disappointing family is what I do Though their prayers are the only thing getting me through And God up above is shaking his head As I wake in the morning on the brink of death And I know a few folks who would spit on my grave And they blow a bad word all around my name Laughing in the smoke as they kiss my ass I'm just bringing to the table what they never have All the vices and all the shame All the things weighing on my name Seem to barrel me down in the roughest ways Like a sandstone weathering in the rain So I'm dancing with my troubles nearly everyday Not a problem enough for me to run away I'll stick to what I do if it gets me by Cause no one in the world gets out alive It doesn't get much better than what you've got You can shoot all day and won't hit the spot Just deal with what you have and give it your all Might find yourself standing ten foot tall All the vices and all the shame All the things I thought could keep me sane Seem to barrel me down in the roughest ways Like a sandstone weathering in the rain All the vices and all the shame All the things weighing on my name Seem to barrel me down in the roughest ways Like a sandstone weathering in the rain

Waking up when the rooster crow On this rock-hard bed still halfway dosed Don't recall all of what happened Just gotta get back home And given my one call I use it on my brother To bail me out again Tell him I'll pay him back When the money comes After I pay the rent Now we're driving down the county line And I hope I can make it back in time For the Sunday service with my family So my gal won't leave me But when I got back they were already gone So I'll pour me a glass and sing a song Fore I stumble down to the church To listen to God's word And all this drinking And sitting alone Has got me thinking Where in the hell I went wrong So when I hear the church bells Ringing through the hollow I know I got to make it there Cause I can hear her calling And it wasn't the easiest thing When they heard the preacher's daughter Was carrying an outlaw's heir And she's seen my high and low And she's stuck around But this time I don't know If she'll carry my heavy load Cause all this drinking And sitting alone Has got me thinking Where in the hell I went wrong So when I hear the church bells Ringing through the hollow I know I got to make it there Cause I can hear her calling As I bust through the door I can see her Her beautiful eyes staring down on me And I make a scene as I plead For one last chance to show the good in me Cause all this drinking And sitting alone Has got me thinking Where in the hell I went wrong So when I hear the church bells Ringing through the hollow I know I got to make it there Cause I can hear her calling Oh Lord help me make it there Cause I can hear her calling

Me and Johnny threw the gravel when we heard the sirens wail Red lights flashing through the timber and counties on our trails We hit the bar-ditch in three deep and couldn't shake the rocks Grabbed that lightning, locked the doors 'Fore they made it 'round the block We cut through the pines as we heard the bloodhounds moan Had to find a place to lay 'er down before the state had our souls Saw Robby's on the hill so we swigged down all the shine Fastened up and split the dirt and we booked it down the line Lord what a mess we have gotten in And I'm beginning to think that we have seen the end But I pray to God that we can shake these troubles down Cause I'd rather run forever Than be hell bound Well earlier that evening Danny Callaghan Told us we should roll over and deal some hands So we went on down that old chert gravel road Played the cards till we had no cash to hold Except the man at the end of the table that'd been cheating us Johnny pulled our 45 and he threw me the gun Said pull that trigger boy and lay aside your fear So I let 'em fly and Johnny and I We had to disappear Lord what a mess we have gotten in And I'm beginning to think that we have seen the end But I pray to God that we can shake these troubles down Cause I'd rather run forever Than be hell bound Lord what a mess we have gotten in When I pulled the trigger I knew that I had sinned But I pray the good times can outweigh the bad Cause I'd rather run forever Oh Lord I'd rather run forever Oh I'd rather run forever Than be hell bound Be Hell Bound
